create "shiny" effect using css gradient

Question

Is it possible to create a gradient like that of the shiny effect on the iphone in the link below using only css?

I've tried using the following code but it isn't "shiny"

background-image: -webkit-gradient(linear, 0% 0%, 0% 100%, from(rgba(255, 255, 255, .15)), to(rgba(0, 0, 0, .25))), -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right bottom, color-stop(0, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)), color-stop(0.5, rgba(255, 255, 255, .1)), color-stop(0.501, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)), color-stop(1, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0)));
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255, 255, 255, .15), rgba(0, 0, 0, .25)), -moz-linear-gradient(left top, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), rgba(255, 255, 255, .1) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
background-image: linear-gradient(top, rgba(255, 255, 255, .15), rgba(0, 0, 0, .25)), linear-gradient(left top, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0), rgba(255, 255, 255, .1) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 50%, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));

I've created a container in this jsfiddle -> http://jsfiddle.net/3qWYL/

    left: -100%;

    -webkit-transition: none;

    -ms-transform: skewX(-20deg); /* IE 9 */

Try this:

background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#aebcbf), color-stop(50%,#6e7774), color-stop(51%,#0a0e0a), color-stop(100%,#0a0809));

Solution 4

.background {
background-image: linear-gradient(right, #111 11%, #333 56%);
background-image: -o-linear-gradient(right, #111 11%, #333 56%);
background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(right, #111 11%, #333 56%);
background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(right, #111 11%, #333 56%);
background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(right, #111 11%, #333 56%);
background-image: gradient(right, #111 11%, #333 56%);
}

ermhh.. it looks shiny to me on chrome.

[surfs up]

actually, that is not shiny enough

Try changing the color,opacity and position to get your desired result.

This doesn't work in IE 11 on Windows 10 Tech Preview.

[Slbox]

How do you use degrees instead of left top/right bottom If you want to change the angle of the gradient in that example? I cannot find a way that works.
